Price: $ 99.95 No. of Pages: 256. Publication date: 01/2001,
including a cdrom with color photos.
Description
Demonstrating the relevance and need of science in planning
the future of the Great Barrier Reef and coral reefs
worldwide, Oceanographic Processes of Coral Reefs: Physical
and Biological Links in the Great Barrier Reef emphasizes
multi-disciplinary processes - physical and biological links
- that have emerged as the dominant forces shaping and
controlling the ecosystem. The book draws heavily on data
from coral reefs in Australia, Indonesia, Thailand, and the
Philippines.
Oceanographic Processes of Coral Reefs: Physical and
Biological Links in the Great Barrier Reef covers:
o Climate and global change
o Coastal oceanography
o Wetlands ecology
o Estuaries
o Marine biology
o Land use management in the tropics
o Fisheries management
o Coral Reef ecological modeling
o Biodiversity and the human impact
The Everglades, Florida Bay, and Coral Reefs of the Florida
Keys: An Ecosystem Sourcebook
Porter; James W. , Porter; Karen G. Price: $ 199.95 No. of
Pages: 1064
Publication date: 10/8/2001
Description
Providing a synthesis of basic and applied research, The
Everglades, Florida Bay, and Coral Reefs of the Florida
Keys: An Ecosystem Sourcebook takes an encyclopedic look at
how to study and manage ecosystems connected by surface and
subsurface water movements. The book examines the South
Florida hydroscape, a series of ecosystems linked by
hydrology in a region of intense human development and
profound modifications to the natural environment. The book
presents scientific studies in the South Florida Hydroscape,
discusses policy and management by government and nonprofit
groups, and explores how the whole watershed approach must
be used to successfully protect coral reefs. The
contributions range from the traditional to the
controversial, questioning current management schemes and
summarizing the results of state-of-the-art research.
Billions of dollars, countless man-hours, and innumerable
resources have been spent studying the various South Florida
ecosystems and how they are linked. The Everglades, Florida
Bay, and Coral Reefs of the Florida Keys: An Ecosystem
Sourcebook shows you how the principles learned in this
region can be applied to other tropical and subtropical
hydroscapes.
Marine Chemical Ecology
McClintock; James B. , Baker; Bill J. Price: $ 99.95 No.
of Pages: 624
Publication date: 6/13/2001
Description
The interdisciplinary field of Marine Chemical Ecology is an
expanding and dynamic science. It is no surprise that the
breadth of marine organisms studied expanded in concert with
developments in underwater technology. With its up-to-date
subject reviews by experts, Marine Chemical Ecology is the
most current, comprehensive book on the subject. The book
provides cellular, physiological, organismal, evolutionary,
and applied perspectives creating a high-resolution snapshot
of the field at the start of the 21st century.
The introductory section provides a broad phylogenic
overview of marine organic chemistry. With its emphasis on
evolutionary, ecological, and biosynthetic considerations,
it sets a foundation for the chapters that follow. The
second section takes an organismal approach to understanding
the role of secondary metabolites in mediating trophic
interrelationships. Section three reviews cellular and
physiological aspects of marine chemical ecology. The final
section discusses practical applications.
Fully detailed with figures, tables, and chemical structural
diagrams, the book's coverage spans aspects of marine
ecology from molecular to community levels, bridging diverse
disciplines. Written by an international panel, Marine
Chemical Ecology provides a conceptual synthesis and
overview of the discipline. You get an integrated
perspective of the current state of the field, and its
future.

Publication date: 12/27/2000
Description
As a practicing professional in the field of marine science
you need easily accessible, accurate and up-to-date
information at your fingertips. Practical Handbook of Marine
Science, Third Edition provides a comprehensive reference
containing the critical information necessary to meet the
multidisciplinary research needs of all marine scientists,
researchers, and anyone involved in managing marine
resources. Consisting of a user-friendly multi-sectional
format, this single volume databook offers extensive,
illustrative, and tabular reference material covering all
the major disciplines related to the sea.
What's new in the New Edition
Presented in an easy-to-use, logically arranged format
Practical Handbook of Marine Science, Third Edition serves
as a quick reference to all disciplines of marine science.
While building on the strong base provided by the previous
editions, this is a completely updated version that
includes:
o Completely revised text to reflect the latest knowledge in
marine science
o Extensive references from recent sources (1995-2000)
o Current tables
o A wealth of new illustrations and tables
Highlighting the interdisciplinary nature of marine science,
this handbook covers a wide range of topics and is a quick
and easy reference to a multitude of marine science
subjects. Although this state-of-the art reference has been
designed for marine scientists; administrators and other
professionals who deal with the management of marine
resources - and the investigation of anthropogenic impacts
on marine systems - will find the information accessible and
useful. The Practical Handbook of Marine Science, Third
Edition is your first resource when you need current,
concise, and detailed data.
